It has taken me a while to get around to writing this review. I travelled here in mid March for a week with my partner. Neither of us had been to The Gambia before, but I would say that we would be likely to return. And would more than likely choose to stay here again. We had booked a junior... More

I stayed at the resort for 3 nights for business. The resort has a Moroccan / middle-eastern theme from its architecture to the styling of bedrooms. My 'junior suite' was compact but adequate. The bed and linens were good, but the pillows were rather uncomfortable (down or feather pillows would be much better). The resort has a good Thai restaurant,... More

The food is excellent (thai restaurant and other restaurant), the room is nice (but doors don't close well), they make up your room 2 times a day, hotelstaff is nice but the service can be slow sometimes. It looks like a mediterrean All-in (arabic style). We had cloudy weather for 4 days, but got burned. We were checking out, and... More

Another world of African atmosphere. Safety was taken care of. Beautiful surroundings and buildings. Wonderful breakfast and restaurants. Spa was nice. Staff friendly, doing what they can, sometimes a bit slow but hey it's a holiday. Nice things to do. A must see. Child-friendly. It is as perfect in real as on the pictures!!

We don't stay at Coco Ocean, but have eaten there a number of times on our many trips to Kololi. My food has always been mediocre, but my wife raved about the Ocean Discovery seafod selection. This time when we went, even that was mediocre, but at a much increased price this time. We have also eaten Breakfast there which... More

Although there are many hotels along the gambian strip the coco ocean is the best hotel by far. It is expensive but you pay for what you get. It is set in an Arabian style with individual cabins, absolute comfort. Good food in the hotel restaurant. Acres of lush gardens. Excellent staff and so many of them. You don't lift... More

We just returned from a one week holiday in the Gambia. After a long drive from Dakar, we arrived at the Coco Ocean at 7:30 at night and were taken to our room only to find our air conditioner broken. We then changed rooms when it could not be fixed. My husband called to ask if we were to stay... More

We have just returned from a wonderful holiday at Coco Ocean. It was our first time in Gambia and we did wonder about the country and hotel but we need not have worried. The hotel is superb, the food delicious, the suite (No 34) was amazing as it overlooked the Atlantic Ocean, all the staff were friendly and helpful and... More

I stayed at the Coco Ocean in March 2013 and had an amazing experience. The cleanliness of the bedrooms and bathroms surpassed my expectations. I stayed in room 7 which looks out over the walkway to the restaurant area of the hotel which was lovely. The interiors are stunning and well thought out, however a Morrocan theme prevailled, whilst beautiful,... More
